C's plant

At school C planted a bulb and watched it grow. She brought it home and she is SOOOO proud of it. It has gotten taller and has 2 flowers on it. She screamed in joy when she saw the flower. So cute.

Av's winter program

Av had a winter program at her school. They got up on stage and sang 4 songs. She was SO excited. Not nervous at all. The days leading up to it she practiced over and over and told me how at the end they would take a bow. So cute. She got all dressed up in her Christmas outfit and of course C had to too even though she was just an audience member. When we got to school she went off to the library to join her class while we took our seats. Rachelle and Molly came to see her sing so that was SO nice of them. Her class took the stage and they did a wonderful job singing their songs. Afterwards she came to join us so we could listen to the first and second grade. It was a very nice night.

Av update

Av is doing ok. Better in school than she was. Things are looking up. Still not perfect or anywhere close but better. She is trying really hard and we are working really hard with her. Her teacher is also doing everything she can. I talk to her weekly. Av is happy though. She loves school and loves her friends and loves going. She rides the bus mostly and is very happy still with that. Her is a pic of work that came home today. They do one of these every day. This one just looked so good I had to take a pic and post. Small E's are hard so that makes me ever more proud. Look at her name at the top. Written so well just like the teacher wants her too. Her writing is coming right along. So proud of her!!!

C update

She is something else. Very strong personality. She wears her crown everywhere. Still. She has a mind of her own and no one is going to change it. She is doing well at school and likes it more and more. I think this weekend she is finally going to get her big girl bed!!! She is excited. She still says cold, "told." All her c's are still t's. She LOVES her gymnastics and is pretty good at it too. Somewhere she is picking up very fun phrases like "you are a bad momma" when I don't let her do what she wants to do or "you hurt my feelings" when I told her she had not been nice all day long. Good thing she is super duper cute bc it's the only thing that saves her. heheh

E update

Man he has become trouble trouble trouble. He is in to EVERYTHING. I get him out of something, turn my back and he is right back into it. The dog food, the dog's water, the toilet, the tree, the holiday decorations, the tv cabinet, you name it he is into it. He is at that very fun stage where he knows what he wants and wants to tell you what he wants but he can't so he just makes that super annoying hollering noise. All day long!!! He points at things and yells. If his sisters do something to him good or bad he yells. He just stands there and yells at you. It's kind of funny. He loves books all the sudden. One in particular. It's a big bright book with pics and first words. He demands you sit in his chair with him on your lap and look at it with him over and over again. No other book with do. He is still a TD too. Oh my he stinks. All the time!!! He is cute and sweet though and very happy. He loves life and all there is to discover.

new house

Well I've been MIA again recently. For a totally different reason this time though. We finally found it. We found our house!!! Now we are just in panic mode trying to get our house on the market. No we do not have a contract on the new house yet. It has been on the market for a year so we are letting them sweat a little before we make our offer. J is working on an offer as we speak. We hope to get our house on the market by Jan 1st. Since the new house has been on the market for awhile we are hoping they will accept our contingent offer and we hope we will have the time to sell our house. Our current house is a new updated house in an older very desirable area so we are very hopefully it well sell fast. The plan is to pack most of our stuff and put it in a storage unit while we are in the selling process. So between taking care of 3 crazy kids, getting ready for Christmas I have also been packing, packing, packing. I do it from sun up until well after the sun goes down. I pack while I eat and I swear I am packing while I am sleeping, at least I am dreaming I am. So keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!

Ace

Av said with a crafty grin, "Ace can't see us."

He was found hanging from the ceiling fan yesterday. This morning C said, "Ace gets into a lot of trouble."

they are cute!!
